Jump starting a dead automatic.
To start, here's the watch we're talking about.It arrived in non-running condition but I do intend to keep it. It's not a rare or valuable vintage so I'd like to use it as a learning experience. I have managed to pop the crystal/bezel and run into my first issue. The crown stem goes through a hole in the case and the movement won't come out. How do you separate the crown from the movement to remove it from the case?Once it's out, I'll post photos of the movement and take further suggestions.Thanks in advance.

Visit to the Audemars Piguet Museum. An Unforgettable Experience
As many of you know, a few weeks ago I had the opportunity to visit the AP Museum in Le Brassus. Here are some pictures of that unforgettable day and the rest of the story and more pictures are here. We started our journey by driving from Z¨¹rich to Le Brassus. I switched watches a few times to send out a few tweets while on our way to Audemars Piguet. Finally we arrived at the Vall¨¦e de Joux. After admiring the landscape we made it to the manufacture and then to the museum. What a day!

Hey TRF members I was just dreaming if I could ever afford a piece that's ultra high luxury for example a 5711 patek or what I really love the 5960 I would actually have a very hard time choosing between these two both steel btw, or would you go the full platinum new day date 40 there all around the same price in the secondary market. Also please till me if you had the means what would you get or already gotThank you all
